Kiddo in the Kitchen: Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bars

There is no easier way to get your kids to help in the kitchen than to pull out a bag of chocolate chips. Am I right? The highlights of childhood baking are as follows: eating chocolate chips straight from the bag and licking the beaters.

{Your kitty may even try to get in on the action.}

These pumpkin chocolate chip bars have been on the blog before, but they are so incredibly good and so incredibly perfect for fall that they needed a repeat.

Wow...I love to bake with pumpkin this time of year (of course, I think this is the ONLY time of year I used pumpkin!), but usually I stick to the tried and true...pumpkin muffins, pies, bread, etc. But this looks scrumptious and is a "must make", something different is always welcomed in this house! Thanks for sharing!By the look on your sons face they are ScRuMpTiOuS! lol

Hi! I made these this afternoon with my 3 year old and they were beyond delicious! I had to stash half of the finished bars in the freezer so 1) I could have some for October and 2) so our family wouldn't be tempted to eat all these in two days! So yummy! Thanks!

These are one of my go-to fall dishes! I saw them the first time you blogged about them, and although I don't like pumpkin I decided to give it a try. Needless to say, we love them! We are having a potluck Thanksgiving dinner with friends next weekend and these were requested! One of the best recipes EVER!

These bars are really yummy. They just came out of the oven and my kids are devouring them. The only change I made was to use a combination of dark, semi-sweet and white chocolate chips (because I only had a bunch of partial bags of chocolate leftover from a previous recipe I recently made.) I will definitely be making them again this fall!

A friend made these for a play date at my house and they were amazing! BUT, I'm doing weight watchers and wanted to try to lighten them up. Thought I would share that I used 1 stick of butter, and then 1/4 cup pear puree (baby food) and they came out really well! More cake-like and less dense/bar like but SO yummy and they were a hit for company!
